One bite of tender chicken in a crunchy golden coating explains why I give this recipe such a workout. Besides serving it at home for the two of us, I make a big batch for our senior group at church. —Essie Malatt of Converse, Indiana

I haven't tried the recipe, but to answer a previous question. We buy Western Salad Dressing. It's made by Wishbone. google Western Salad dressing & you should find it. I don't know if the recipe is referring to this dressing or not.
